Naturopathic Information - MICROgenics 50 + Wellness Multi

Grape Seed contains one of the most beneficial groups of plant flavonoids called proanthocyanidins (PCO’s).

Grape flavonoids have a wide variety of effects on the body including, potent antioxidant activity useful for preventing premature ageing, vasodilatiion, antiplatelet properties that support a healthy cardiovascular function.

Nutrition, vitamin and herbal supplements, physical fitness, skin care, have been utilised in many cultures for many years, now with scientific research supporting their positive effect on the natural ageing process.
